The Body Snatcher & The Hanged Man’s Bride – Double Bill


Robert Louis Stevenson: The Body Snatcher

A chilling tale of greed, guilt and the macabre, “The Body Snatcher” exposes one of the darkest truths in history – the grisly pursuits of the so-called Resurrection Men.

When medical student Fettes is recruited to assist the enigmatic scholar Wolfe Macfarlane, a chilling chain of events is set in motion. To what lengths will they go for the advancement of medical knowledge?

This stunning adaptation brings to the stage Stevenson’s masterfully weaved story of suspense and morality – exploring the dark depths of human ambition and its terrifying consequences.


Charles Dickens: The Hanged Man’s Bride

‘She comes towards me on the floor; always approaching; never coming nearer; always visible as if by moonlight whether the moon shines or not.’

A writer struggling to reignite his creative vision. A real-life crime. And a visit to a supposedly haunted inn. As darkness descends, a ghostly tale is played out. But what is real and what is not?

A tale of passion, deceit and the ethereal dance between the realms of life and death as the Hanged Man’s Bride beckons from the shadows of the past.
